Tuesdays and Thursdays
Monday, Wednesday, Friday I am an intern. Tuseday and Thursday, I sit at home and study Chinese and China. It's great: I learn tons of stuff, there's no pressure to learn anything I don't want to learn and I go at my own pace. What I learn now should really help with responsibilities in the fall. A friend told me about "The China Brief" a weekly publication by the Jamestown Foundation covering, you guessed it. It makes me realize how much I don't know. Join me in my humility at jamestown.org.
Another perk of working at home: no showers until after the late-afternoon run. Sure is hot out, though. The high today is 99, the high tomorrow is 100. If it were late July right now, it wouldn't seem so bad. But it's not late July, it's mid-June, and today is just one day in a long entourage preceding summer's most ruthless visitor: August. But at least we're not in Mexico.
Look, some bananas:

Wow, those are some pretty bananas.
Hey! Ruthie here, 7/12. M and I are packing for AL/AR for the remainder of the summer - well, ha! I'm reading blogs. I read him your banana comment. We think you're funny. Hey, we lost the library contest to "Prufrock's". You can read about it in the library news. We had to admit it was cleverer than ours. Humph.
